Another question, a practical one: How do they intend to get on the ballot in California? Last time I checked the CP had about three hundred registered voters there.
California`s hardly a worthwhile benchmark for any political comparisons. It`s a lost cause to any party except the dems. So that`s a non-player at this point.
“Another question, a practical one: How do they intend to get on the ballot in California? Last time I checked the CP had about three hundred registered voters there.”
Well I am not sure. I am quiet aware that in 2008. they did not make the ballot on all 50 states. They did make it in my state, but I have to wonder if they won’t pick up more states. Would be a shame if they didn’t make it in California but it is a leftist state for the most part so I am sure they would have a harder time than in a Conservative state.
However, I am also aware they were aligned with the American Independent Party of California and had a falling out and got taken to court to resolve the issues.
In 1992, a number of independent state parties united to form the U.S. Taxpayers Party. In 1999, at its national convention for the 2000 elections, convention delegates chose to change the party name to the “Constitution Party,” to better reflect the party’s core beliefs stated in the U.S. Constitution. It is constitutionalist, which means that they support limited government as outlined in the Constitution.
It is the largest 3rd party out there. It rivals the libertarian party in terms of which is larger in voter registration.
There are other right-wing parties that have lesser resources according wikipedia, which it claims are associated with Conservatism including both Old Right and New Right tendencies.
They are the:
America First Party
Christian Liberty Party
America’s Party
American Party
Independent American Party
But they will have a harder time getting on a ballot than the CP.
